Happy Birthday Max

It's hard to believe that our little Max turns 1 tomorrow. To celebrate his first year, Harry and I recently created this little chair for him for his bedroom. Being quite small, it is actually the perfect size for him to climb up onto. I bought the vintage chair for a very small sum and then had it recovered in a plain white canvas. Harry then drew all over it with fabric felt pens. On the back I have written a special little note to him. We also wrote his date of birth and a few of his favourite sounds on the chair too. I hope it is something he cherishes and keeps forever.

PS. If anyone is going to try this I would advise ironing the chair after you have drawn on it so as to seal the ink onto the fabric.

May I say that is one of the cutest ideas ever??? I LOVE this....its brilliant!!!!!!! How wonderful and whimsical, personal and fun and the best part is no one will have one like it anywhere else in the world!!!! This is fabulous!!!!!!!! Happy birthday to your little man, one year old is such an incredibly sweet age, enjoy every minute!!

Isn't this the most gorgeous gift!!absolutely unique and so very special..I'm sure Max will cherish it forever..( must add that harry is quite the artist!!)..a very happy first birthday to your little boy..xx meenal

Anna, that is absolutely DIVINE! So so so special, hats off to you. Love that you hold family so close to your heart. This is something he can cherish forever. I have recently welcomed a new niece and you've inspired me to think outside the square . . .

We have a whole lot of fabric pens left over from the last kids' birthday party (design your own t-shirt) that I have been wondering what to do with. Now I know! Thank you for the wonderful idea. Max's chair is just gorgeous. Happy Birthday x.
